Cookin' good!

Thursday, 1 April 2010

In direct contrast to my last post, this is all very much cooked food.

First up, mashed butter beans with roasted red onion on Biona Organic Amaranth/Quinoa Rye Bread with a little tomato and lettuce salad with balsamic.


A terrible photo of an amazing garam masala curry. Peas, green beans, broccoli, onion, mushroom, tomato. Niiice.


Potato salad. With marjoram. Good. 'Nuff said.


Quite an ugly looking stuffed mushroom. T'were good though.


Okay so this looks awful, it isn't, it's lovely! Couscous, olives, tofu, peppers, and mushrooms.


Macaroni 'cheese', made with proper macaroni pasta. I wish I could eat this every day.


Butter bean stew, with butter beans (unsurprisingly), red onion, tomato and tofu.


As featured in the butter bean photo, here is my latest investment. An aluminum water bottle. I read these articles ( http://bit.ly/16Fy7R http://bit.ly/cNHPNs), and decided it was time to change. And this bottle is so pretty I know I'll remain committed to the plastic bottle ban. The books on the left are birthday presents I received from my friend Lotty today in the post, among many other things in the box of joy. La Dolce Vegan! is immense, beautifully put together, great ideas, really inspiring.

So yeah, the raw thing didn't stick fully. Apart from for breakfast and snack-o-clock!

Hi, saw your tweet about this.
Humans are supposed to eat food cooked according to the BBC Horizon programme. It's the way our stomachs have evolved since Mankind first dropped food into fire. The body can extract a lot more energy out of cooked food than it can out of raw food.

See this clip for an scientific explaination:

Thanks for this, and apologies for not spotting it sooner, yeah raw food isn't for me. Well, not in excess or deliberately planned schedules!
